Edmonton, named after an area of London of the same name, has an enduring affiliation with Britain.
On completion of the Canadian Pacific Railway in the 1880s, the “Gateway to the North” attracted entrepreneurs and settlers from Britain and Europe, as it still does today. Now the staging post for Alberta’s booming oil sands projects, Edmonton continues to attract migrant workers from around the world, many of whom arrive from the UK.
